Questions

How big is the Simple Polaroid Trigger PCB?

It measures 101.6 × 101.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Simple Polaroid Trigger use?

80 parts, built around the PAM8302AADCR, MMBT3904, MMBT3906 and BK-18650-PC4. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Simple Polaroid Trigger KiCad files?

From the JWehle/polaroid-trigger repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Simple_Polaroid_Trigger.kicad_pcb and its schematic Simple_Polaroid_Trigger.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Simple Polaroid Trigger design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
